We're working on resolving this issue and expect no data loss.

Report: "Datacenter Power Outage Causes Failed Donations"

Last update
resolved

A handful (~10) of donations using our new PayPal integration failed to process between 4:15am to 6:30am Pacific Standard Time due to a power loss at an Amazon data center. Amazon resolved the situation and donations are processing normally through that integration since 6:30am PST.

Report: "Log4j Statement"

Last update
resolved

Funraise for the does not use log4j for any of its native application code. Funraise identified one area of log4j use in a 3rd party component that we use for search engine functionality (ElasticSearch) that is hosted separately from the Funraise Platform core infrastructure. Funraise applied the appropriate initial patches and mitigation strategies on Dec 13 and continues to monitor the situation as new recommendations and patches are released and has found no evidence of exploit or attempted exploit in our application logs. Log4j was also identified in a 3rd party component powering our BI functionality. This functionality is also hosted separately from the Funraise core infrastructure and presents lowered risk of RCE. The vendor for that component patched and updated their infrastructure on Dec 16. Funraise continues to maintain a proactive security posture and undergoes annual analysis of our codebase and infrastructure by an independent security firm.

Report: "Platform Unavailability"

Last update
resolved

Payments (Next Gen) which powers our Free tier as well as some customers that are enabled for advanced fraud protection suffered an outage between 4:10 AM and 9:42 AM Pacific Time which affected an upper bound of 30 potential donors. Our engineering team is continuing to investigate and has put additional notification schemes and telemetry in place to help detect and respond to future issues if they should arise as we isolate the root cause. The vast majority of our payments traffic is serviced by our legacy payments infrastructure and was therefore unaffected. If you're on our next-generation payments infrastructure we're truly sorry for the inconvenience that this outage caused.

Report: "Minor Performance Degradation With Filtering"

Last update
